Payer number and weighing code

Payer number and weighing code
In Autogiro Privat, the payer number is used to identify a payer and to link the payer to the right bank account number. Each payer must therefore have a unique payer number. As payer number, you can use different types of terms which you use in your customer register to identify your customers. To increase the security of Autogiro Privat, the agreement contains information on a weighing code for the payer number. Depending on the weighing code you specified in the agreement, Bankgirot will check the payer number on the basis of, for example, a 10-module control.
This table shows the checks that are available and the weighing code you should specify in the agreement:
TYPE OF PAYER NUMBER
WEIGHING CODE
Bank account number (not recommended)
1
National ID number
2
Other number which must be checked in accordance with 10-module
3
Other number which must be checked in accordance with 11-module
4
Other number which is not to be checked

Recipient directory
Bankgirot's website and the internet banks have a directory of payees. The banks' customers can search for the payees they wish to make payments to via Autogiro. By participating in the payee directory, your company can market the fact that you use Autogiro, which may encourage more payers to use this method of payment. Contact your bank if you wish to participate in Autogiro's payee directory.
